Queensland Rail’s Railsmart program aims to positively influence people’s attitude and behaviour on and around trains, tracks and rail property, and encourage community members to take responsibility for their own safety and that of others.
Queensland Rail through its ongoing community commitment offers school and community visits across Queensland, where our Education Unit deliver a proactive message of safety at or near railway lines.
